Assignment #2 Housing Life Cycle

 
 
Age 17 
The house we currently have is a good fit for my family at this time. It is a three bedroom, tri-level split with one full, two three quarter and one hall baths on two and a half acres. Up until a year ago we had four people living in our house. Now it is three people; my mom, dad, and I but my brother comes home every other weekend. This house provides shelter, storage, safety, sleep, food, privacy, love and belonging, and some creativity. as well as trails to go snowmobiling and large backyard for enjoying the outdoors.
 
 
Age 21
At this stage in my life I will have graduated from Vermilion Community College and will be finishing my education at UM Crookston. I will be living here for two years and probably won’t be able to afford an actual house at this time working only part time. There is an apartment for rent  in town which is only a few minutes from campus. A parking space is provided that has a plug-in for the car so that I won’t have to worry about my car not starting. The studio apartment itself has two bedrooms, one bath, a dishwasher, washer/ dryer, AC, and some other amenities and paid utilities. The apartment would cost $495 to $640 which I would split with a roommate. This apartment would provide shelter, food, and some storage as well as a place to sleep and provide some privacy.
 
 
Age 41
This almost two acre water front property home located up in Moose Lake would make a good home for when I’m in my forties. this $219,900 home has three finished levels with three bedrooms and two baths. The house also has a detached garage and a large walk out patio and deck. The location is also convenient in that it has ATV and snowmobiling trails nearby and is located half way between Duluth and Minneapolis. There are job opportunities near by and schools aren’t located too far from the house. This house would be a good fit for my family to spend time together outside in the yard and on the lake. It would provide physical needs such as shelter, storage, safety, sleep, and food. My psychological needs would also be met including privacy, identity, creativity, love and belonging.

Age 71
 
At seventy one years old I will be retired and my husband and I will buy a fifth wheel to live in so we can go anywhere in the country. The Keystone Summerland will have to have plenty of storage, three beds, and have two pop outs for more space. I chose a pull behind camper so that we could leave behind the RV if need be. It also has a full kitchen with two door fridge and an awning. Again all of my physical and psychological needs would be supported even creativity in how I decorated the inside.
